At the moment, we have an attack of Hilfenhaus, Johnson, Siddle and Hauritz.

Johnson
Siddle
Hilfenhaus
Clark
Lee
Bollinger

The bolded players are the ones we are using. If we were using 4 quicks, then we would need another player after Bollinger. But with 3 players, in cover, and Watson and McDonald as well, we have plenty of bowlers.

Thanks for the insight Jake.

I don't know about you but I find it interesting to see who's on the rise and who is falling. Look at the first few posts in this thread and see how much the order has changed within the past year.

Also if you are trying to work out who should get a CA contract you need more then 6 pace bowlers.

This what I think the current pecking order is, or atleast this in the order in which the selectors rate the current crop of fast bowlers, haven't named Nannes, Noffke or Tait in there, because I believe the selectors don't have them in their scheme of things as far as test cricket is concerned, for various reasons.

I think Clark has slipped down a fair bit in that pecking order, after a poor tour of India and then that elbow injury, the selectors seem to have lost a bit of faith in him, and if he fails to resurrect his career during the Ashes series, then he might be at the risk of fading away from international cricket.

Moving on, I agree with what aussie is saying about Nannes, but tbh he really doesn't offer anything vastly different in comparison to other young Australian fast bowlers.
